Here we have an exceptionally clean example of a truly legendary camera, the Leica M2 with Leica ever-ready case and strap, Leica M2 box, flash socket caps, and Leica body cap.

This camera is nearly perfect and received a complete CLA service (clean, lubricate, adjustment) in April, 2020 by famed Leica repair person Youxin Ye of YYE Cameras. It is the smoothest and most responsive Leica we’ve had in the shop yet. A real treasure that will quite literally last a lifetime for the user who buys it. It is among the cleanest Leicas to ever come through the shop.

Functionally the M2 is in excellent condition and is fully functional. Everything works as it should. All levers, dials, and knobs click into their detents with mechanical precision. The shutter curtain is in excellent condition, and works perfectly at all speeds. The film transport is responsive and smooth, and the advance lever ratchets along its action with incredible precision.

The viewfinder and rangefinder windows are crystal clear and show perfect contrast for focusing. Frame lines are incredibly bright and beautiful.

The film compartment is free of dust and debris, and the take up spool is perfect, as is the film door and pressure plate.

There are very few signs of use on this camera. Impressive for a camera of this vintage.

The ever-ready case is in similarly exceptional condition inside and out. The leather is pliable and fresh, without wear or damage from age. The buttons snap into place directly, and the plastic film reminder window is unfogged. The strap is nice, though I personally would not trust a sixty-years-old camera strap in real-world use.

Please see photos for details on the camera, case, box, and manual’s cosmetic condition.

The M2 will be carefully packaged and shipped immediately.
